Place word table as image

Hi, back in the day if you created a text box and pasted a table from word, it would format to text, if you did not have a text box it would paste as an image.
I really just want to paste a word table straight into indesign, is this still doable?

  • Place Word table and apply defined formats in ID

    Hi,
    I have a Word file that contains text as well as tables. These tables are defined as table format in the Word file and I also have defined table formats in ID. Now I would like to place this Word file in ID and the table should automatically be formatted in ID according to my defined table formats. I know how this works with Excel files but I don't get it with the Word file. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chantal

    InDesign doesn't automatically format imported text, it just imports it as good as it can. It does not format text, nor tables.
    Perhaps you were thinking of Table Styles? You can define as much as you like, but you have to apply them yourself, just like Paragraph Styles.

  • Inserting an image into a Word Table with the Report Generation Toolkit.

    I was wondering if it was possibe to use the Report Generation Toolkit to place an image into the cell of a table in a Word document?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Yes, you can do this by using the Word Edit Cell VI under Report Generation>>Word Specific>>Word Tables in your block diagram functions pallette.  After creating a table, you can edit specific cells and send the file path of the image saved on your computer to that specific cell.  I put together an example that I've attached here as well to help you out with this.

  • Report Generation MS Word Table Bug

    Hi everybody,
    I am using Word 2010 and LV2010 and I am unable create a proper table with Word using the Report Generation Toolkit. Excel and HTML work fine, but Word fails. Not even the Examples work as they are supposed to.

    OK, if NI won't provide a workaround, I'll create my own:
    The problem stems from the fact that the NI Report Toolkit populate a Word table by first creating an empty table of the correct size, then placing the table contents into the copy buffer, then selects the whole table and uses Paste to push the data into the table. The problem is actually in Word, because in Word 2010 it interprets the contents of the copy buffer differently.
    The solution is to alter the data that gets pushed into the copy buffer by the NI Report Toolkit. To implement my fix, you will need to alter one VI of the NI Report Toolkit (so you might want to make a backup in case this stops it from working in other previous release of Word).
    Open [LabVIEW installation folder]\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\Word_In​sert_Table.vi
    There is a nested for loop that interprets the provided string array data and reformats it into a long ASCII string for the copy buffer. It should look like this:
    Change the nested loop to look like this:
    The changes I've made are twofold:
    1. Within the inner loop, replace the "\n" char with a Tab character
    2. Just after the inner loop, add a new "concatenate strings" function that adds "\n".
    This alters the string that the toolkit places into the copy buffer. You should find that report tables now populate correctly in Word 2010!
    This is untested on previous releases of Word, and could possible introduce problems there, so if anyone could test this for me it would be most appreciated
    Best of luck!

  • Can I use Word tables in InDesign?  Any way to import tables made with Word?

    Hi, I'm new here...  Well, the title says it all: I need to use (basically unchanged) nearly 100 tables from a book made recently with Word... Can I import them?
    It wouldn't be a problem making one new one (lines, etc...) with InDesign and then fill with text, but...  why repeat 100 different tables (that's my case) already done I can use without changes...  There must be a way to at least place a Word table into an ID document...  Thanks for all kinds of comments!

    OK, this looks like great news for me... So I understand ID places the Word table, and once inside ID, indeed ID sees it as a table you can vary... Is there any basic menu to vary one imported table, or is it a graphic (mouse) thing?  I really appreciate your advice, Bob...  I don't have much experience with tables in ID...  For example, how can I make the whole table smaller? Only by varying the placing of the lines one by one, or can I make it smaller in the way we make a jpg smaller?

  • VERTICAL ALIGNMENT ON WORD TABLE IS MISS.

    Hello everybody,
    Can somebody clear my mind? I did the code below, and this generates a beautiful and clean table on word 2010. The problem is that the instruction “.Rows.Height = 8” and 
    “.Cells.VerticalAlignment = Word.WdCellVerticalAlignment.wdCellAlignVerticalCenter” seems
     not work, besides, when I try to adjust the rows height and vertical alignment by myself, after routine generates the table of course, Word don´t allow me to do these adjustment by hand.
    The property “.Rows.Height = 8” seems to be working, because when I change to “.Rows.Height = 25” the rows height really goes to it, also, there is no problem with horizontal alignment, this is work very fine.
    Working with VS 2012 and Word 2010.
    Tried everything, no result….

    I am not able to understand the issue exactly. Can you set the height for the rows using Rows.Height? I made a quick test using VBA based on the code above, it works well for me. And I can also adjust by hand after run the code.
    >> “.Cells.VerticalAlignment = Word.WdCellVerticalAlignment.wdCellAlignVerticalCenter” seems
     not work<<
    What effect did you want to achieve? Based on the code samlpe you were setting the verical alignment to bottom however the description are center. Both center and bottom for the vertical alignment works well for me.
    I would suggest that you test the code using a new document to see whether the issue is realtive to the specific document. Here is the test code in VBA for your reference:

  • Word document w/images in RGB pasted into InD CS5

    Hi!
    Working in InDesign CS5 some problem occured: I have received from 3rd party  doc in Word w/embedded images(a lot ((( and text, the images are RGB defined.
    Now as printing preprocess(finally to PDF) I need to format/create whole document in Indesign CS5 but I got to have the images in CMYK instead of RGB while still
    having text black, w/out CMYK profile - could anybody advice 'politically correct' approach to such problem ? ))
    Thanx in advance!
    cheers,
    bcd

    Images in InDesign are to be placed as RGB.
    But I see other problems with your document. You should never embed images in InDesign, it is better to place and link them.
    The other problem is, that Word provides you with a worse image as it could be, often, in most cases (it depends if the creator has imported the images via copy & past, which is not recommended or with the correct insert image command) Word saves the original used image inside the document. You can save your Word document as HTML file (there are several commands, use the most extended version) it will save the original image as separate file. In Bridge you can see resolution and size easily. Use the better image of each and place it in InDesign. If these images have no color profile, apply sRGB to them.
    Conversion to a output color space, in your case CMYK, should not be done before PDF export, better later.

  • How to paste a Word table into email without showing the guidelines.

    When I paste a Word table into an email using Explorer, the guidelines don't show. When I paste into an email while using Firefox, the lines show. I don't want the guidelines to show.

    BigEnd wrote:
    When pasted from Word, the graphics are Inline by default.  You can correct each one by selecting the graphic and then Anchored Object, Options and selecting Above Line (centered etc).  What I do then is create an object style to these specs and this makes it quicker to apply to the graphics.
    You say that there are very many graphics in the doc - does anyone know how to make the above settings the default when graphics are pasted from Word?
    M
    Thank you M, but I believe I figured it out:
    I made styles in Word to make things a bit simpler when changing large sections of text, so within the settings of the images style select Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks. Under 'Textbox Options' the Tight wrap defaults to 'None' - Select 'All'.
    When the file is placed into InDesign, the images don't overlap, and are exactly where they need to be.

  • Can Word TABLES be posted onto iWeb

    I am a rookie! at using Webs and need help please.
    I want to use iWeb to provide a Table of Members and their interests to a Group I belong to. The table of members is 7 columns and 80 rows.
    I have tried the templates (the blank one first!) and have cut and pasted the word table in.
    BUT only the first "page" of the table gets placed on iWeb.
    Am I doing something wrong. or is iWeb not designed to take tables.

    Back again Kyn having read and tried.
    Chastened for not having thought of increasing the size of the page (for that just HAS to be pertinent), I read up and duly made the width and height generously large and opened one of the templates.
    Then I pasted the table, but it posted NOT the table, but the contents of it down a left hand column (name: with details for that name listed below then next name etc).
    So I then opened a blank page and stretched it similarly, and again copied and pasted the table.
    This time a different result! An image of the first page only of the table appeared on the iWeb page. And I was back to the original problem.
    I need to ask how to get the full table up and posted in such a way that my co-members can view it all and then cut and paste it.
    Am I being over ambitious?
    Cheers

    With TextEdit I loose the formatting of the TOC.
    I found another workaround, I made a printing of the TOC and saved it

    The conclusion is that there isn't any easy way to place a TOC

  • How do I get my table of Images to take the desired layout?

    I am currently creating a web page as part of my learning of html and css, it is a bookmark page with the sites I visit most frequently. The main section of the page is a table of images which are linked to their respective sites, the table is 4 columns by 3 rows. My problem is when in the design window it appears as it should but when I press the live button and when I preview it in a browser all of the images go into one column down the left side of the page. How can I remedy this?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How do I place a large format image into Illustrator

    I am trying to place a large format image that I created in Photoshop into Illustrator. I have tried PSD, TIFF, and JPG. I have even cropped down the image into smaller portions to try to make it easier to work with. Every time I try to Place the image I get a dialogue box saying,"The file 'Water 1.jpg' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.' Can anyone help with this?

    I would guess the file is simply too big.  Make sure the document is in RGB mode.  If I were you, I would never submit a file that size at 300ppi for large format.  Large or grand format printers only need around 100 to 144ppi at 100% final size.  Also, set the Illustrator file up at 25% scale and place the image at 25% @ 300ppi ( image resolution ends up around 75ppi which is still plenty when enlarged 400% to final size ).  Getting back to the original error message, it could be the system is running out of both RAM and scratch disk space and cannot deal with the preview required.  Better to scale the file down for large format.

  • Is there a difference between saving a word doc with images as a pdf or printing to pdf?

    Is there a difference between saving a word doc with images as a pdf or printing to pdf. Images are sometimes missing when the document is  saved as a pdf or they are visible to the document owner but seem to disappear when viewed after submission to grants.gov. and proposal Central.

  • Data from word tables to excel master spreadsheet

    Hello, I'm looking to take data from my damage report forms that come in maybe 20 times a week. This data needs to goto a master excel spreadsheet. I've managed to find a macro that does this but it does not paste it into excel the way I require and also
    extracts data I do not require.
    The word document contains a column of headings on the left, these will be the master spreadsheet sheet column headers. These will be on the spreadsheet already so I don't need them copied. 
    The other  two columns contains the data I will need to xfer to excel. I was thinking bookmarks can help here but I'm unsure if these will save over from the original template?
    So,  if there is some code out there that can help, brilliant. It will be an excel macro in the master spreadshee. TThat takestthe datadfrom the active word doc or by selecting the word doc in its folder. 
    Fingers crossed.

    Hi Joseph,
    You should be able to run below code to get the data out of the Tabel(s) of a Word Document from within Excel.
    You can modify the code accordingly to your needs to specify the range where you want the data to be copied.
    I have already slightly modified the code to skip the header information.
    Sub ImportWordTable()
    Dim wdDoc As Object
    Dim wdFileName As Variant
    Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in Word
    Dim iRow As Long 'row index in Excel
    Dim iCol As Integer 'column index in Excel
    wdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Word files (*.docx),*.docx", , _
    "Browse for file containing table to be imported")
    If wdFileName = False Then Exit Sub '(user cancelled import file browser)
    Set wdDoc = GetObject(wdFileName) 'open Word file
    With wdDoc
    TableNo = wdDoc.tables.Count
    If TableNo = 0 Then
    MsgBox "This document contains no tables", _
    vbExclamation, "Import Word Table"
    ElseIf TableNo > 1 Then
    TableNo = InputBox("This Word document contains " & TableNo & " tables." & vbCrLf & _
    "Enter table number of table to import", "Import Word Table", "1")
    End If
    With .tables(TableNo)
    'copy cell contents from Word table cells to Excel cells
    ' start with row 2 to skip headers
    For iRow = 2 To .Rows.Count
    For iCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
    ' Define starting point here
    Cells(iRow - 1, iCol) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)
    Next iCol
    Next iRow
    End With
    End With
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    End Sub

  • Is it possible to adjust the placement of a still image within a clip in iMovie?

    If I place a portrait format image in iMovie and click "Allow black" the image is automatically centred. I would like to range the still image to the left or right to allow for text etc within the frame, but I can't seem to find anything relating to this.

    Here's one way you could do it.
    First, create a project with just the still images you wan to use in your final project.  Basically a slide show of the images you'll being using with their durations adjusted to approximate what they'll be in the final project.
    Now Share that slideshow using Export using QuickTime and the Movie to Quicktime setting.  Import the resulting movie as a new event in iMovie.
    Next, start your final project.  You'll want to lay down a clip of black first.  If you don't have one lying around you can create on by adding a title with a black background but no text in it.
    Now, with Advanced Tools checkin in iMovie>Preference select on of the still images in the event you just created and place it over the black clip and drop it in as picture in picture.  Using the picture in picture adjustment you can move the still around in the frame.
